Trim Tab

Here I have cut out the trim tab from the elevator and floxed the edges.

I also floxed the edges of the tab itself.

And, after going to my local hobby store and getting the copper tubing as per manual......the finished product.

This shot shows the pilot seat control for the trim tab.  It is made from 1/8" aluminum with a plywood washer for friction.  It works "stiff", but that was what I was going for.

This shows the pilot seat control but also the cables running to the aft.

This is the aft business end.  The cables from the front run to here and then the movement is transferred via piano wire to the tab itself.  I ran the nyrod cable through aluminum tubing affixed to an aluminum tab so that there would be no movement other than that which I wanted.
